YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua made weight on Thursday for their bout on 19 December.
Joshua weighed 243 pounds at their Thursday weigh-in, while Paul was 216.
The heavyweight tilt, which will consist of eight three-minute rounds, will take place at Kaseya Center in Miami and will be streamed live on Netflix.
It will be the toughest fight yet for the 28-year-old Paul, who has a 12-1 record (7 KOs) and last fought in June when he beat former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision.
Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) is a two-time unified WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight world champion and Olympic gold medallist, but the 36-year-old hasn’t fought since losing to Daniel Dubois in an IBF title fight in September 2024.
